Let the race to Christmas begin!

Well I have to say I was a little disappointed when I visited a local retailer a few weeks ago (late September) and found Christmas decorations and trees already on display! It's not even Halloween yet! It's no secret to anyone out there in the retail field that preparing for the holiday rush takes months of planning and projecting, but that doesn't mean you need to start displaying Christmas stuff 2 months before the actual holiday! Sheesh!

That being said, here at Make Your Own, we are preparing for Small Business Saturday®. This November 24th is Small Business Saturday®, a day to celebrate and support the local small businesses that boost the economy and invigorate neighborhoods across the country.


Make Your Own is proud to take part in Small Business Saturday®, and we’re encouraging everyone to Shop Small® here on November 24th.

Most importantly, get out there, Shop Small®, and let’s make this November 24th the biggest day of the year for small business.

We've also been hard at work preparing, researching and testing new products for some brand new kits that are going to be rolling out just in time for the holidays!

Gather the kids around and create your very own version of a Haunted House with cookies!

The Haunted House Bake Set includes: Metal poly-resin coated forms needed to create the haunted house, cat, ghost, pumpkin and moon cookie cutters, complete baking and assembly instructions, recipes, decorating suggestions and tips. Completed house is 7"W x 5"D x 8"H.



We hope your Fall has been enjoyable and 
your harvest was plentiful! 

Happy Halloween!
